Åkesson: Sweden Democrats want Systembolaget open on Sundays

The Sweden Democrats want Systembolaget to be open on Sundays. If you vote for SD, we will push for those issues, Jimmie Åkesson tells SVT.

The SD leader thinks it is reasonable that Swedes should be able to buy a pilsner or a bottle of wine even on Sundays.

"When we have a monopoly, which I fundamentally think is very good, you have to maintain some kind of legitimacy in that system. Then it's good if you also meet demand in a different way," he says.

Recently, the Liberals presented several proposals in the alcohol sector, including that Systembolaget should be allowed to be open until 8 p.m. every day. The Moderates also have proposals for Sunday opening.

However, Health Minister Elisabeth Lann (KD) is critical and has previously said that the issue is not on the table.
